Here are two frustrating ones.George Burns used to start a song
If I had a nosefull of nickels
I would sneeze them all at youBut he never went any further.
The other one is by Ma Rainey called "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom". She starts out by saying "Come on folks, Ma Rainey is gonna show you her big black bottom", but the rest is, alas, instrumental.
There is an almost pun--I forget the name of the guy who did this. You can guess the tune.
I'm Melvin Rose of Texas,
and my friends all call me "Tex"
When I lived in old New Mexico
they used to call me Mex
When I lived in old Kentucky
they used to call me Key
I was born in old Shamoken
which is why they call me Melvin Rose
